Anyone have the Pink & Green Bird's Nest

[joetbs]

Looking to see what this LE looks like in someone's tank.

Not sure if this is the one your looking at. Pic's don't show the colors all that well, but it has a green base w/purple polyps.

Hey, thanks for the reply. That's the other one, from Tubs i believe. Still a nice piece, but there are plenty of pictures floating around. I'm just trying to get a feel for what it actually looks like before dropping $100.

the color tends to morph into more pinkish color under brighter light. You have to keep it under low light, possibly even under 20k bulbs to retain the green base and blueish/purple polyps. I haven't taken a decent picture of mine lately. here are some old ones.

Grandmother Colony

I too would like to hear more about either one, the LE or the Tubs. I have the Tubs and have tried moving it to several different low light places in my tank but I can't get the green to come out. It is just pink with bluish/purple polyps.

Travis, there is a big thread on the tubs one. No one seems to have the Tyree one though.

I agree, I never hear about the LE BN. It is a cool looking piece but I wonder if others are able to keep the color in their tanks. I have a handful of LE's and most of them are not as colorful in my tank as they are in the pics on the reeffarmer's website.

Do you have a link to the thread on the Tub's BN by any chance? I did a search but it didn't come up with anything.

Travis, here is the recent one. Not sure where the old one is... http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=757720

joetbs, the pink and green birdsnest is not like other birdsnests. It is more of a dwarf birdsnest. It really doesnt get too large at all while other birdsnests can get pretty big if you let them grow. i have a small colony and i also have seen it at atlantis aquarium (one of sponsers here). No pics now cause i'm at work though.

lower right hand corner.

Here is my frag . Right below the bennett tenuis.

here is when I first got it .

 

[Horace]

The one I have is just like Scotty's. Mine is pretty much just a frag right now though.

Question for the long-time SPS keepers, how long does it take for a small frag to grow to a nice size colony where it looks like a full birdnest?

2 years IMO

I've had mine for about two months. It's really starting to color up.

Simon & MSM, thanks for the pics

Now who wants to send me a piece?! j/k

I also have a small frag of the LE ponape BN. It is a slow grower and colors up in lower lighting. Not a fast grower like the ORA green birdsnest. No pic at this time.
